### Pronunciation

### Etymology 1

A compound from the stem of trēs (“three”) and either from:
* Proto-Italic *triðus if from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁- (“to put, place, set”), thus Proto-Indo-European *tri-dʰh₁o- (“rendered in three, tripartite”), cf. with Skt. multiplicatives in -dhā such as Sanskrit त्रिधा (tridhā, “threefold”), and with thematized derivatives of it such as Lithuanian iñdas (“dishware”) < *-dʰh₁o-. This would be evidence to the development of PIt. *þ before vocalic *u as after it;
* Proto-Italic *triβus if from Proto-Indo-European *bʰuH- (“to grow, become, come into being, appear”).
Originally referring to three divisions of the (Roman) people. Cognate to Umbrian trifu (“tribe, people”).

#### Noun

tribus f (genitive tribūs); fourth declension
* One of the three original tribes of Rome: Ramnes, Tities, Luceres.

* A tribe.
    Synonyms: gēns, prōgeniēs
